- Installing new door bushings and pins in the 2002 Silverado 2500HD. Not that hard of a job but the two top pins don't usually want to come out very easily. I ended up using chisels to work the top pin out. I think they make a tool to remove these bushings.
Things that might help with a project like this:
Silverado Door Bushings: amzn.to/2sdeeC5
Door Handle: amzn.to/2C6xUMH

Thank you! This saved me time on the door removal.
I just did this job, what a difference, I used the kid with threaded pins, worked well, I shoukd have watched this first, that masking tape tip would have been a good idea.
Right on I will do that . I can just imagine how that 2500 HD will look at the end
Very Nice repair👍
Hey thanks for posting all these repair videos i have 05 3500 that needs almost all the things you have done to your trucks (rust wise mainly) its good to know some tricks or what surprises i might find
Excellent!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍grasias amigo por tu video me ayudo to much. Thanks.
Well done. Big difference.
Every time I open the door now it's like......awesome. It's the little things that make a big difference :)
That's one of the first fixes I had to do on my Suburban...actually had to do it on my 93 Suburban, too. It makes a huge difference in the feel of the truck.
Great job... I have to do the same on my Pontiac Fiero Project... 30 years old... They are due :)
These are much easier than the older vehicles.
I saw another guy on youtube cut the bottom of the factory pins off with a sawzall. Seemed to work pretty good.....
air chisel worked stellar for removing mine
i was thinking the same :)
That would work. I have ordered the tool and will show it when it arrives.
Thats what ill use
Looked like a real PITA! I wonder if you could've used that c-clamp from the ball joint kit to press those out.
I thought about it but didn't see it working. I ordered the tool and will show it when I get it.
What’s the tool called to press them out.
No grease?
Nice job. The truck I. Recently got on the front passenger side makes this clocking sound that it's annoying when I bought the truck I check the car fax on it if it's been crashed nothing came out . You think it's the same issue like your door had
I think that is the limiting strap. They wear out too. You can spray some grease into the strap opening to get them to quiet down.
One kit does both upper and lower hinges?
Yes 👍
can you recomend any esoecific brand of bushings ? thanks
I have just used the bushings you get from the auto parts stores. Seem to work good.
I asume you will be doing some tow mirrors. like always thumbs up
I have new mirrors on it now. You will have to wait until the next video :)
I have a truck that bushing were wore thru an egg shaped the hole. So new bushing only last a week. Holes need to be drilled out an over size bushing installed. But cannot find any to fit those pens. If anyone knows send a comment please
Yup, need to change them before they get that bad.
Do you know what that single yellow wire is for in the fuse box? It should run into and somewhere through the engine bay, but mines disconnected and I don't know what it's for
This truck appears to have an add on remote starter/alarm system and it use to have some aftermarket lights on it somewhere. I am guessing it's a wire for one of those things. I have not traced it.
If u have a cherry picker (motor puller) u don’t have to unplug all those wires. … just roll window down and use an old fan belt to connect to the hook on motor puller. Tape good deal
yea i did mine on my 84 monte ss wasn't too bad but they were a bit different
These are pretty easy compared to older vehicles. This generation GM trucks are pretty easy to work on most things.
What ever the tool is for pressing them out, I'm wondering if a c clamp and over sized socket would to the trick?
Tried that but our clamps have a ball at the end and they wanted to rotate crooked. I have the tool and will show it eventually. Probably could make one. It's not that complicated.
I had the same problem with my 02. Took it to a body shop and they replaced the bushings. 6 months later I had the same problem. My mechanic who has worked on GM stuff for years replaced the hinges and I haven't had issues since. He said the holes on the hinges are what wear and do not allow the bushings to seat properly.
If your bushings don't fit in snug then the hole is worn out. I believe they have oversized bushings you can get. That is why you need to replace them asap.
where are you located i was looking through you rocker panel videos wondering you might do my truck too??
I don't hire out to do work. I only work on family vehicles and I don't have extra time anyway.
+mossman381 i live in wisconsin
+mossman381 thanks anyway
Will rockers be done?
Yes
Great job!! What is next?
I have done a few things. You will have to wait for the next video :)
LMAO!! I expect that response. Keep up the good work!
Junk pin kit lasts about a year-gm nut on bottom type,top bushing in from bottom.
Probably depends on how you use it. I never had any problems. If you open your door a lot or use the door for support when getting in and out, you will wear it our faster.
E clips dont hold enough tension on the pins-floppy p in about a year.
yeah I was going to say maybe a air hammer
They have a tool that makes this really easy. I bought it and need to do a video on it.
I did mine with a Sawzall.
Whatever gets the job done.
I'm almost to that point.
looks at my 2500hd with manual everything.... haha that sucks
what tool? to press out?
I bought a tool to press them out but can't find it now.
@@mossman381 ok im looking to do this in the next month or so. does this fix the sound while driving on the highway you can hear coming from the top of the door weather strip area. or is that gunna need new weather stripping?
I would do the door bushings first. If that doesn't fix the wind noise then do the door weatherstrip.
do you mind me asking how much you paid for the truck, I'm looking for a 2500hd but I think most are overpriced
I paid $3000 for it and I wouldn't have paid anymore. Most comparable trucks around here are close to $5000. I guess a truck is only worth what someone else is willing to pay you for it.
mossman381 I agree, that's a $3,000 truck, trucks like that here people would be asking probably $6,500 and it's just insane, and then they won't move only but $500 on the price. that's why I haven't purchased one yet
JohnDeere50d This guy was asking $4900 for it. A 2500HD is worth a little more. They have great frames and suspension parts that last a long time. Also with the gas motor you get the 4L80 and a bullet proof rear end. If they have a Duramax or 8.1 people think they have gold plated trucks :)
mossman381 there was a 2005 with the 8.1 with only 87,000 miles for $10,000 but I missed it. that seemed like a good deal for what others want for a 6.0. I need something to plow and haul a dump trailer and eventually a mini excavator. so that 8.1 would have been great I'm not sure it I would want a duramax because of the added maintenance and some problems the diesel engines have
JohnDeere50d That 8.1 will suck the gas though. An 05 for $10k still seems like a lot to me.
i miss the dually mossman
I still have the dually.
what was the reason of getting another truck for
A backup for me and dad. I think I said that in the "first look" video.
new toy?
If you are talking about the truck it's a backup for me and dad. Check out the "first look" video if you want to see more of it.
sweet thanks
Should have bought the better pins bolt on
They do have better pins and I now have the bushing removal tool. Should do a video on that.
You used a wood chisel on metal? My lord.
Smallest chisel we had. Don't know if it was a wood chisel. If it was it works good on metal :)
mossman381 Lol. Then i hope you dont plan om using that on wood again. Used to get so mad at my apprentice when he would chisel on metal with my good chisels.
@@mossman381 use what ya got brotha we all do it
At 9:50 using your hand as a hammer. A guy can get in trouble with his wife if she sees that. Just sayin
I have read this comment many times and I still don't get it :)
Sorry. You are using your hand as a hammer by smacking the screwdriver with your hand. My wife always gives me heck for doing that cause she says it will damage my hand.
She is probably right but I didn't have time to get a hammer :)
Don't use aftermarket, they are junk, Buy the GM kit
